MEHAJER DONE FOR ELECTORAL FRAUD
CONTROVERSIAL Sydney businessman Salim Mehajer has been found guilty of being part of a 2012 electoral fraud plot that helped put him on Auburn City Council.
In Central Local Court yesterday, magistrate Beverley Schurr found him guilty of multiple charges relating to plotting with his younger sister, Fatima Mehajer, who has previously pleaded guilty to 77 charges.
Mehajer was released from jail last week after being granted bail on a charge of perverting the course of justice for the alleged staging of a car accident on his way to face court last year on assault charges.
The magistrate said she was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Mehajer, 31, was part of the joint criminal enterprise relating to false documents and information.
